About the location (from Wiki):
The InterContinental Carlton Cannes is a 343-room luxury hotel built in 1911, located at 58 La Croisette in Cannes on the French Riviera and listed by the Government of France as a National Historic Building. During the Cannes Film Festival it is the most prestigious place to stay and the undisputed headquarters of motion picture industry deal-making. Part of the InterContinental chain, the Carlton is famous for hosting movie stars from around the world during the annual Film Festival. The hotel was also featured in Elton John’s well-known 1983 music video for the single, “I’m Still Standing”, and the exterior and interior features in New Order’s 1993 music video for the single, “World (The Price of Love)”. More famously, the hotel was a central location for the Alfred Hitchcock film To Catch a Thief starring Grace Kelly and Cary Grant. The Carlton’s distinctive domes on both seaward corners were reputedly designed to resemble the breasts of Caroline Otero (“La Belle Otero”) the most famous courtesan of the French Riviera during the years surrounding World War I. The Carlton’s elegant seventh floor formal dining room is named La Belle Otero in her honour, although there are a couple of less formal restaurants, La Côte and La Brasserie, on the ground floor.
